Clifford was in an accident and he has lost all the hearing in one ear. Which ability will the deafness in this ear mostly affect?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Localizing sounds accurately is primarily affected by binaural hearing (hearing from both ears), which allows the brain to compare the differences in sounds received by each ear and determine the sound's location. Losing hearing in one ear would make this task difficult. Detecting high amplitude sounds and high frequency sounds are not necessarily dependent on binaural hearing and typically can still be detected with one ear. Separating speech sounds from background noise may be affected to some extent, but it is not the primary ability impacted by unilateral deafness.
